HIGHLIGHTSMS Dhoni captained Chennai Super Kings to their 4th IPL triumph last weekDhoni’s CSK beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 27 runs in the IPL 2021 finalDhoni became the oldest captain to lift the IPL title, which he previously won in 2010, 2011 & 2018

Former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president N Srinivasan on Monday said that his franchise Chennai Super Kings’ Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 title triumph “put Chennai on top of the world”.

CSK became IPL 2021 champions under MS Dhoni, who added a fourth title to the team’s cabinet after 2010, 2011 and 2018 in Dubai last week.

Praising Dhoni and the Super Kings’ triumphant campaign, Srinivasan said: “It was a remarkable win”, adding that it “put Chennai on top of the world”.

“Dhoni is part and parcel of CSK, Chennai and Tamil Nadu. There is no CSK without Dhoni and there is no Dhoni without CSK,” Srinivasan, who owns the franchise, told reporters during a brief interaction after visiting Lord Venkatachalapathy temple in Chennai with the IPL trophy.

India Cements Limited owned the CSK franchise from inception in 2008 till 2014, when the ownership was transferred to Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd.

The Dhoni-led CSK beat Kolkata Knight Riders in the final last Friday to lift the IPL title for a fourth time. Asked about retaining Dhoni and other CSK players in the next IPL auction, he said retention policy is yet to be announced.

To a question on the criticism about no cricketer from Tamil Nadu featuring in the CSK team, he said 13 players from the TNPL are playing in the IPL or representing India.

“Lot of people are watching TNPL matches and it will go from strength to strength.”

When asked about CSK’s victory celebrations, Srinivasan said Dhoni would come to Chennai after doing duty as the Indian team mentor in the T20 World Cup and “share the trophy with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin at a function proposed to be organised at the M A Chidambaram Stadium”.
